It will be interesting to see when internet packages will be updated from the current purchase of minutes.

I see the promo for my Feb 2020 cruise. The banner is there. The price has dropped about $90pp, free upgrade and I loose the specialty dining (not a big deal) and OBC is the same. Not a big savings overall.

So - I see the sale prices but there are none of the perks mentioned above - 3rd and 4th are still $799. Could the website not be showing it?? Actually no mention of any promotions at all...thoughts my friends 🙂

Check different sail dates.zThere are 2 different deals in March. Some have price reductions some have sale with perks.

More detail re Air Canada Military baggage benefit:

Eligible active and retired members of the Canadian and U.S. military are now entitled to check up to three pieces of checked baggage, each weighing up to 32 kg (70 lb) each. The allowance is applicable to the member of the military and is valid for both personal and duty travel.

Air Canada has free baggage upto 3 bagged 70lbs each for retired or active military.

OBC for Loyalty

 

21 - 31 cruise credits $25 onboard cabin credit
32 - 41 cruise credits $50 onboard cabin credit
42 - 51 cruise credits $75 onboard cabin credit
52+ cruise credits $100 onboard cabin credit

 

 

I sincerely doubt I will ever have the need to worry about this...

Well note a great incentive. Shareholder OBC are better, quicker with less upfront cash.

What is the loyalty credit?  How many cruises to qualify?

I refared and my TA was able to keep my flights and price under Ezair.

We got Milepost. 

Which princess ships if any have golf ranges, golf greens or golf simulators? Need to keep DH happy on a cruise 😉

A gimmick that can work. My DH has never had an interest in cruising. Actually hated the idea. Last summer agreed to a try a cruise if we would go to alaska, so we booked for July 2019.  Since then I have been following the boards and when the $1 sale came, suggested we book Caribbean for 2020 on proviso that if he hates the Alaskan cruise we can cancel. Well its booked and I see some excitement. I got til final payment to work on it.

 If I had more time, I would’ve just sat around and booked the entire ship for around $3000. 

 

 It would have been fun to wait for that phone call. 

Thanks for the chuckle. 😁

TA has my room on hold just need to finish transaction.

I understand from my TA and calling PC that this promotion is not combinable with the current All Aboard promotion. So if the price is the same why give up the OBV? I dont get it.

How do you reserve or put a cabin on hold?  

What's the hump?

Book early to get the cabin you want. You can always refare if the $ make sense.

Contacted my TA she says the Valentine's $1 deposit is not combinable with the All Aboard deal.

Our first cruise is to Alaska is booked for July. We are looking to book a Caribbean cruise for January 2020. Our options are Regal, Sky, Caribbean or Crown. Which ship do you like and why? We are mid 50s couple. Enjoy most activities but not big on overcrowded spaces.

Appreciate your perspectives.

We booked a whale watching and bear tour privately for ISP. Booking 10 months ahead our first and second choice were sold out. Booked third choice. Can't imagine waiting to book somethings at the pier.

Additional questions about sanctuary:

1. Are the snacks and beverages included in the cost or extra?

2. Do they operate the sanctuary on Alaskan cruises and is it worth it?

Thx

Also, 375ml bottles are available from room service.

Good to hear. Couldn't find rum in the Personalizer. Will need to look harder.

Our first trip to Alaska too. We booked a SUV rental for four in Skagway and will do the drive to emerald lake. Hope to do stops and photos along the way. We are in port 12hrs so can be a bit loose with our DIY trip planning re time.

We did our brown bear search with Hoonah Travel Adventures and highly recommend it.  In fact, bears are what I most wanted to see at ISP.  We ended up seeing 6--one juvenile male, two adult males, a female and two cubs, all from driving around and then getting out of the van at a bridge over a river and an overlook near a stream/river.  This company also does whale watches, and it looks like you can schedule one after another if you go to their website.  If I ever return, I think I would do that.

Thank you. Is the tour with Hoonah Travel Adventures, one where you stay in the van? Do you get out in the wilderness? Or walk ?

We are thrilled to be travelling on our first cruise. We're going to Alaska mid July!  We arrive in ISP at noon. We have booked a private whale tour at ISP from 12:30 to 3:30. There is a Bear and Wildlife Search with Misty Bay Lodge from 4:15 to 7:45pm. So my questions...is this doable?  Has anyone any insights or experience with the excursion with Misty Bay? Or do you have other suggested tour operators for Bear search at ISP?  I appreciate your sharing of experiences and opinions.
